The girls had been spending a lot of 'sister time' together this past month and we both knew they were up to something. But what? We opened their gift and it was a quilted angel sampler and teddy bear pillow that surprised me immensely. So much so that I could not stop laughing... until I cried. It was the last thing I expected. They were so surprised. Their shocked, pretend-hurt looks made me rethink my laughing... maybe there was a possibility that they had created these treasures? (They ended up being thrift store decoys). The last present of the night, they covered our eyes and brought out their real gift... a memory quilt. It was the sweetest gift we have ever been given and was a complete labor of love as they embroidered their favorite memories of us. We will treasure it always and thank the Lord everyday that we are their parents :)
